Healdsburg Bliss House is a noted unofficial hillside landmark. This comfortable ranch style home is high up on a ridge above the stunningly gorgeous Dry Creek Wine Valley. Just 1.5 miles from downtown Healdsburg, the home is a blissfully peaceful escape surrounded by 80 acres of lush vineyards. The 100ft deck and expansive windows provide endless opportunities to take in the literally 100 mile-180 degree views of vineyards, forests, mountains, big skies and florid sunsets. Watch the hot air balloons rise to the south or the plumes of steam from The Geysers in the surrounding northeast mountains. Bring binoculars and check out the myriad of birds swooping by. Sunbathe or read on the deck, bbq while sipping wine and taking in the views. An outdoor dining table for 6 is a commanding location from which to dine and leisurely watch the sunset. The master suite opens to the deck and the spacious kitchen/dining/family great room has views as does the generous living room with rock hearth.
Bliss House Hillside Setting: This truly unique location is up a 1/4 mile shared paved drive which is in good condition and suitable for all types of cars. The property is not fenced and adjoins neighboring vineyard property and as such is not suitable for small children.
The setting backs up against rural wilderness area and thus is plush with wildlife...wild turkeys, deer, raccoons, wild pigs, etc. are all a part of the close to town but country lifestyle. As tempting as it may be, we encourage our guests-for their own safety to observe and enjoy the wildlife from a distance.
Bring the camera and the binoculars and no matter what season-warm outerwear as evenings can be cool. If guests are planning to walk, bring sturdy shoes.
The Weather: From April through August, most afternoons are pretty and bright with breezes. Mornings and nights are usually cool and sometimes the early morning fog comes in to kiss the grapes. Temperatures can range 30-40 degrees in a 24 hour period. September and October is almost always warm and there is less early morning mist or fog. However, there are exceptions...so don't forget the pullover or wrap. Even in winter, when we get the rains that make this such a lovely place...there are many many break through days with crisp sunshine.

Notes:

Comfortable quality furnishings. Fully stocked kitchen. Good quality Queen beds. Spacious throughout. Private and quiet. Bliss House is a big view with a generous home in a perfect wine country location.

Great front porch with spectacular 180 degree view of vineyards and mountains.

Three couples stayed at this house over New Year's. The house is spacious, comfortable, and clean with plenty of room for 6 people and very well equipped. The house is a short distance from downtown Healdsburg, a charming small town with lots of shops, restaurants, etc. The house is up on a hill, giving it a spectacular view of the vineyards and hills in the distance. We had a terrific time and would recommend it highly.

Family visit to Healdsburg

We had a really wonderful stay at the Bliss House. It is spacious and comfortable with beautiful views. This time of year there is fog and the house sits above it. Sunrise is beautiful from this house. The beds are all comfortable with nice linens. As has been said before, the house could be updated. Jim was wonderful to work with.

A beautiful home away from home!

A beautiful home away from home! The house has beautiful views, conveniently located, well equipped and made for an amazing trip to wine country for the holidays. We cannot thank Kathleen enough for helping make our holiday perfect!

Very Cool Place!

Never written a review before, but.....beautiful place sitting on top of a hill overlooking vineyards and the town of Healdsburg. About a 3 minute drive to the town square. the house is far from updated, however, it doesnt matter because you spend most of your time outside on the huge deck. master bed/bath are huge. this place is worth it

Bliss House is smack in the center of Sonoma Wine Country, just outside Healdsburg in the achingly beautiful Dry Creek Valley appellation. Over 100 boutique wineries can be discovered within a half hr drive including one which guests may walk to from the home. Historic Healdsburg Plaza with its fashionable boutiques, restaurants, tasting rooms and galleries is 1.5 miles from Bliss House. Healdsburg has live music several days every week most of the year. Numerous festivals and wine related events abound. Lake Sonoma is a scenic 15 minute drive. The dramatic Sonoma Coast is another lovely back roads drive 45 minutes from Bliss House. Summer brings kayaking or canoeing on the Russian River and the launch point is a mere 5 minutes away. Cycling is a popular pastime. Guests may rent bikes in town or bring their own. A delightfully abundant Farmer's market is open 8 months of the yr on Sat. Numerous parks and hiking trails help burn off the extra calaries. Enjoy it all!
